290 THE entomologist's record. 



Nethy Bridge, in May. A young <? was taken with F. fiisca at 

 Aviemore, on May 17tli. This is the first time I have found it with 

 this ant. 



EvANsiA MERENS, Camb. — I took J s and 2 s with F.fuaca, and ? s 

 with F. saiKjinnea, at Aviemore, on May 17th. 



Salticus formicarius, De Geer. — I took this rare species again 

 this year in the Isle of Wight, this time at Luccombe Chine, a young 

 ^ being captured in company with Mitniura scabriHoilis, on August 

 29 th. 



CicuRiNA cinerea, Pauz. — I found a number of 5 s, young and 

 adult, in a nest of Lasias fnliffinosus, in October. My friend, Mr. 

 Cambridge, writes, " I have only met with this here in old disused 

 drains .... The shelter and accommodation afforded by ants' nests 

 would probably be very congenial to this species." 



Dysdera cambridgii, Thor. — I took specimens of this spider with 

 F. rii0arbis var. fnsco-rujibarbis at Whitsand Bay, in April, and with 

 F. sangiiinea at Woking, in May. Van Hasselt recorded it with 

 Lasiiis brunneiis. 



Cryphcrca recisa, Camb. — Two 2 s were taken in nests of F. 

 fiisca at Bradgate Park, in Leicestershire, in May. Mr. Cambridge 

 writes, " This is only the second record of the species, the former 

 having occurred in Sherwood Forest several years ago, swept, I believe, 

 from heather. The ^ is unknown." 



Micarisoma festiva, C.K.^ — This species was taken in April, with 

 L. nigey, at Whitsand Bay and Rame Head, and with L. /i a tits at 

 Virtuous Lady Mine. 



MicARiA PULicARiA, Suud. — This spider occurred with L. nujer at 

 Virtuous Lady Mine, and with Tetraiiioriuiii caespitiiiii at Whitsand 

 Bay, in April, and in May with Fortiiica c.rserta, at Aviemore. 



Proctotrupid.e. — Tropidopria fuliginosa, Wasm., was found in 

 nests of F. rufa at Buddon Wood, in Leicestershire, in May, and a 

 var., with the same ant, at Nethy Bridge, on May 18th. 



Comostigmus testacipes, Kief. — This species, which is new to 

 Britain, was taken in a nest of Formica rufa at Nethy Bridge, on May 

 18th. 



Lagynodes pallidus, F. — Two specimens occurred in a nest of F. 

 fitsca, in Parkhurst Forest, Isle of Wight, in April. When this species 

 meets an ant it tucks in its antennae and feigns death. 



Tetramopria donisthorpei, Kief., and T. femoralis. Kief. — Both 

 these species, which are new to science, were discovered by me in nests 

 of Tetramorium caespitnm, at Whitsand Bay, in April. In this genus, 

 which was erected by Wasmann, the hairs on the neck, which are 

 usually white in other Vroctotruindae, are golden, and are licked by 

 the hosts. They are on good terms with their hosts, and, I observed, 

 when they met that they tapped antennj^e with the ants. They are 

 parasitic on the larvae of the ants. 



Planopria pedestris, Kieffer. — A genus and species new to science. 

 T took several of this little creature running about in company with 

 Lasius nit/er at Luccombe Chine, in August. They are apterous, and 

 were rather ant-like in appearance when alive. 



Loxotropa n. sp. ? — Taken with Lasius fulii/inosus at Darenth 

 Wood, on September 29th. Dr. Kiefifer writes that he will send on name
